TOP FIVE AFFORDABLE MAKEUP PRODUCTS

There's something I have to confess... I own A LOT of drugstore makeup.  And I'm not ashamed, although my purse might be as I'm always spending! I just love makeup so much - all the colours and brands and designs and the packaging and the product itself and I could just go on and on and on. And after collecting makeup for at least 2 years now, I have come across some (affordable!) gems which I just have to share with you.

The first product is the Model and Co. Lip Laquer in the colour Creme Brulee. It's actually the perfect combination of nude and pink and has such great staying power that I've worn this non-stop since I bought it. I should probably give my other lip prods some love so they don't feel left out.

Next is Maybelline's Volum Express The Falsies Big Eyes Mascara (what a long name!). I swear this is the best mascara to ever grace the planet. It doesn't clump, smudge, or look cakey, instead it opens my eyes SO MUCH and makes my eyes look amazing. I love it!

I think my most used product out of all of these must be Rimmel's Professional Eyebrow Pencil. I have used it almost every single day since I purchased it, and I wouldn't want to live a day without it. What I love most about this is that I can choose how much I fill in my brows depending on my mood, the occasion, and the rest of my makeup. It's so buildable and results in such a nice finish.

I have been wearing Rimmel's 60 seconds nail polish in the shade Princess Pink non-stop this month. It is seriously the perfect natural colour - mostly nude but with the slightest hint of pink so that it is practically the same colour as my nails, but darker. The finish is so glossy and smooth, and I can even wear it to school without the teachers noticing and getting me in trouble for wearing nail polish.

Lastly I want to include my Mineral Primer from Nude by Nature, which for some reason isn't available anymore. This was the best I could find - I think it's the same product but with a different name and design. If I wear a BB-cream or foundation, this primer HAS to go under it. Without it everything slides off my oily face within 2 hours. Such a lifesaver.

Now, there's something I have to tell you all. As I am such a procrastinator and as a result don't post blog posts as much as I really should, I decided that this month I'm going to challenge myself to 2 or 3 good quality posts per week. Mondays will be "Makeup Monday", Fridays will be "Fashion Friday", and I might post a lifestyle post another time during the week  if I feel like it. Hopefully you're excited (I definitely am!) and have a fabulous rest of the week :)

15th BIRTHDAY HAUL

Before we get on the post. just a little side note:
Recently, just after my birthday, I went on a holiday to Sydney and Adelaide (I live in Perth). It was on of the best holidays ever! I will be writing a post about it, but if you can't wait for that, head over to my instagram for a 'lil speak peak - I've been posting my travel photos on there. :)

Back to my birthday haul, I got quite a few lovely things from my friends and family. Thank you so much to everyone who got me something! Now I'm just going to stop rambling and you can get on with looking at all my new things.

So, to summarise, which things I got from my lovely friends and family included:

Money and Vouchers

Green tartan dress

Incredible Things Fragrance by Taylor Swift

The Fault in Our Stars movie

The Amazing Spiderman 2 movie

Dotti ankle boots

Dotti frilly socks

Maybelline the Falsies Volume Express mascara

Nude 10 Shades Models Prefer eyeshadow palette

Revlon Lip laquer

Wonderful World of Fashion notebook

Isla and The Happily Ever After novel by Stephanie Perkins

So, I hope you like this post! It was very fun to make (by 'make' I mean taking pictures and editing, as well as writing), because I could relive my birthday memories again!

15

I'm 15 today.

Wow. Another year gone... and still so many to come. 

Right now, I'm in the middle of my teen years, as and these are the best years of our lives, I want to go about this year with no regrets, and so I can look back on this year and think of all the great times I had. However small they are, these are some of the things I'd like to achieve or do while being 15.

1 // Going to a music festival. A proper one, not an outdoor concert.

2 // Staying fit and healthy.

3 // Getting a part-time job in retail.

4 // Growing my hair out to my waist. Right now my hair sits a bit below my shoulders, and when straightened it reaches the top of my boobs, but I'd really like to grow it as far as I can, while keeping it in a really healthy condition.

5 // Making a bunch of new friends. I've always been kinda shy, and so I want to go out of my comfort zone to meet new people, and hopefully make some friends!

6 // As well as making new friends, I'd like to stay in contact with old friends.

6 // Being as fashionably put together as possible. Because fashion is always important. Obviously.

This was a bit of a short post today, but I'm posting my Birthday ootd and a birthday haul, so stay tuned for that coming later this week! Hope you enjoyed this post :)
